Sky: De Winter and Ricci give Allegri a headache ahead of Roma game – his dilemmas

Massimiliano Allegri has a couple of doubts to resolve regarding the team that will take to the field against Roma on Sunday night.

Friday marks the penultimate training session at Milanello before Sunday’s departure for Roma in what feels like one of those potentially season-defining games at the Stadio Olimpico, in terms of the title and top four race.

As Sky (via MilanNews) report, the Rossoneri squad are training at Milanello today and will do so again tomorrow morning before leaving for the capital in the afternoon, after Allegri’s press conference takes place.

Doubts to resolve

As reported by Peppe Di Stefano for Sky, there are at least two doubts regarding the starting line-up ahead of the match, while waiting to see if Alexis Saelemaekers recovers or not.

The first concerns the defence, and in particular Koni De Winter. He is one of the most in-form players at the moment, and Allegri is considering either giving Strahinja Pavlovic a little more rest, as he’s returning from a head injury. He could also play the Belgian in place of Fikayo Tomori.

Samuele Ricci’s chances of starting are also on the rise, following his performances in recent weeks. The former Torino man could prevail in a battle with Youssouf Fofana and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, competing for a spot alongside Luka Modric and Adrien Rabiot.
